‘There Are Two Americas Now: One With a B.A. and One Without’

[cancel2 2022]

Lots of talk about the failed universities, and a lot more great stuff:

Wow, no wonder the likes of Salty, Rana, Madwitch and Snarla hate them.

[cancel2 2022]

What is irrelevant?

You, for one.

Wow, no wonder the likes of Salty, Rana, Madwitch and Snarla hate them.

Did you play it?

Long but good.

Case and Deaton contend that the ballots cast for Donald Trump by members of the white working class “are surely not for a president who will dismantle safety nets but against a Democratic Party that represents an alliance between minorities — whom working-class whites see as displacing them and challenging their once solid if unperceived privilege — and an educated elite that has benefited from globalization and from a soaring stock market, which was fueled by the rising profitability of those same firms that were increasingly denying jobs to the working class.”

Education divides everything, including connection to the labor market, marriage, connection to institutions (like organized religion), physical and mental health, and mortality. It does so for whites, Blacks and Hispanics. There has been a profound (not yet complete) convergence in life expectancy by education. There are two Americas now: one with a B.A. and one without.

Can't read the link because I won't subscribe to the NYT: the center of white liberalism. Very telling that you are subscribed to it.

Regarding the BA. Among those who contribute to societies wealth and protection of it, the BA is seen as a bullshit degree. Here's a typical listing:

Anthropology
Art History
Business
Communications
Criminal Justice
Education
English
General Studies
Geography
Graphic Design
History
Human Services
Information Technology
Liberal Arts
Music Production
Philosophy
Political Science
Psychology
Religious Studies
Sociology

Of the few that contribute to societal wealth or the protection thereof, most have BS alternatives where a student is likely to have far more success.

There are those who allowed their minds to be molded/wrecked at the failed universities, and those who did not.

Some students still choose to do science, technology, engineering, math at university. Their minds have been wrecked, you think?

The WOKE are well on their way to taking over stem and the Universities research operations have long been a disaster along with the advanced science degree programs.

Here it is both Mind Molding and Exploitation, now increasingly it is all bullshit as well.

Bret and Heather talk about this constantly.

What a coincidence.
Just like there are two BidenPresident's.

The one who tries to appear rational.
And the one who threatens to/hopes other posters will get 'beaten to death'.

I await your - as per usual - simplistic, ad hominem response.

2) and if these ivory tower egomaniacs think that after the Great Recession 'a soaring stock market, which was fueled by the rising profitability of those same firms...'?
And not 'fueled by' the central banks with their myriad of QE's and ZIRP's?
They are macroeconomic ignoramuses...period.

BA's are nothing more than participation trophies for those that can't hack real world productivity.

Jordan Peterson has a BA in psychology. DeSantis has a BA in history. I could go on, but you get the point.
